This review is from: Journey through the Dying Process: Caring for a Loved one at the End of Life (Paperback)

I was quite shocked to receive a pamphlet as opposed to a paperback. I thought it was a book, it is not. The reading was extrememly superficial and just glazed over all the topics one is facing as a loved one is dying. However, it was well written for what it was and made easy and quick reading for family members and friends who came to visit while my grandfather was being cared for at home. This pamphlet stayed near his bedside till the end and did get read by all who visited due to it's simplicity.
